Breathable plastic runway and rubber runway are the two runways that are used more often nowadays and are common in daily life. But do you know the difference between plastic runway and rubber runway? Today I will give you an introduction.

　　First, the difference in materials

　　Rubber runway is a highly elastic polymer compound made of latex from rubber trees, rubber grass and other plants, with elasticity, insulation, permeability and permeability. It is divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is processed from rubber trees, rubber grass and other plants. Synthetic rubber is made by polymerization of various monomers. Rubber products are widely used in industry and daily life.

　　The raw material of breathable plastic runway is mainly composed of organic or inorganic elements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. The finished product is a solid, which is a liquid dissolved during the production process. Therefore, melting, pressure moving and cooling hardening can be heated to form various shapes.

　　Second, the construction method

　　Usually the rubber runway will be made in advance of the roll and packaged directly to the site, which requires high leveling of the ground.

　　Plastic runway to be evenly transported to the site construction, the flatness of the ground is not required.

　　Third, the difference in service life

　　The normal life of prefabricated rubber runway is more than 10 years. Even if it is more than 4 years, the surface texture is almost unchanged, and it is not easy to be degraded and broken.

　　The normal life of breathable plastic runway is 3 years. EPDM rubber particles are easy to appear in the anti-skid surface layer, and will fall off, break and wear in the starting section and the first track.

　　Four, recyclable

　　Rubber runways are difficult to dispose of at the end of their life, and discarded runway materials cannot be recycled. Incineration and landfill will waste a lot of energy and cause harm to the environment.

　   Breathable plastic runway can be made of recycled rubber at the end of its service life, greatly reducing the damage to the environment and energy waste.

　　Fifth, the price difference

　　Rubber runway mainly use environmentally friendly materials and raw materials, so the price is slightly higher.

　　Breathable plastic runway consists of polyurethane prepolymer, mixed polyether, waste tire rubber, three-dimensional vinyl rubber particles or polyurethane particles, pigments, additives, fillers, etc., the material is cheaper cost-effective.

　　Six, the advantages of plastic runway:

　　1, all-day use: any season and temperature difference can maintain a high level of quality, can be used immediately after the rain, thus increasing the use of time, improve site utilization.

　　2, elasticity: with appropriate elasticity and rebound, can reduce physical exertion, improve the game performance.

　　3、Absorption of impact: Properly absorb the impact of the foot, reduce sports injuries, long-term practice and competition are very suitable.

　　4, weather resistance: due to ultraviolet rays, ozone, acid rain pollution, will not fade, differentiation, softening, can maintain bright colors for a long time.

　　5, abrasion resistance: abrasion resistance of less than 2.5%, to meet the requirements of schools at all levels of long time, high frequency of use.

　　6、Compression: it will not be unable to recover the elasticity because of the heavy pressure of the athletic equipment.
